It'll be comparing two voltages - it's quite a common feature for PMICs
with auxadcs.  I think I said in one of my previous reviews that it
probably shouldn't be user visible in Kconfig as some other driver will
need to be written to call it so that driver could just select the
symbol.

It's measuring rather than producing.
